Well That Was a Day...

Damn it, ya'll show up. Over the past years we've had so many reasons to be nervous. More than just the big "are we still gonna be around a year from now?" kinds of sleepless questions. It's more the constant little things like will anyone sit on a snowy patio? Will anyone wade through construction cones to find us? Will people be kind if we do the things we need to do to keep our people safe? And yanno, you show us time and again that we'd do best to let go of the fears.

Or better yet, we'd do best to light those fears on fire and burn them as fuel for our dreams of what comes next.

Thank you for surrounding us with so much joy this weekend. It was both a celebration of what's behind us and a bit of a tradition/rite to usher in the things to come.
